I remember your Dad's shop so clearly. I am from the North, my best friend moved to Brighton in 1993 (and lives there still). When I first went to visit she took me to the North Laine and showed me the bead shop - mainly because of the fabulously enormous cat who slept along the entire length of the front window of the shop. "He's called Poland" she said "probably because in a cat-to-country ratio he's one of the larger European Nations" 🤣
I googled "Brighton Bead Shop" just now
because I need to buy a beading needle to repair a precious bracelet and I suddenly wondered if the shop still existed in some form or other... which it does. In the brand yes, but also in our memories. ❤️
